Crime Scene Investigators from Nottinghamshire Police have been at the scene in Belconnen Road, near the City Hospital, since Thursday night.

Residents reported seeing an ambulance and police cars turn up on the small road and block off part of the street while they carried out their investigations.

Police have named the man as 51-year-old Nicholas Powell.

Officers were still at the scene on Sunday, and have to reveal how he died - or if any suspicious circumstances were at play.

Residents on the street were not surprised by the police presence.

One man called Tom Adams, 37, told the Post: "This happens all the time, it is almost normal now to see a police car, ambulance or fire engine on this street.

"I have lived here for over four years and I am not surprised at all."

Another resident, Phil Green, 30, said: "No one knows what has happened we just woke up one morning to see police on the street and part of it was also blocked off.

"The crime scene vans keep coming and going but we don't know anything.

"All I can say is that it doesn't surprise me to see police here, anything could have happened, you never know."

A resident who did not wish to be named said: "I saw lots of police cars on the street on Thursday but no one knows much else at all.

"It isn't shocking at all to see police here. We have had no end of problems on our street over the years and it seems to be getting worse."

Detective inspector Gemma Booth, who is leading the inquiry, said: "We are encouraging anyone who may have been in contact with or seen Mr Powell from Tuesday July 11 2017 to contact the investigation team. This is important for us to build up a picture of his movements.

"Likewise, the team is keen to speak with anyone who has information surrounding the circumstances as to what has happened."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 863 of July 13 2017, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
